I've come here for help.
Is anyone there? -Greetings.
What is your query? -Oh.
I need your help to heal my friend.
She's been cursed.
I don't know how to save her.
Legends say She-Ra could heal people using this sword.
How? -What is your query? -Not this again.
[scoffs.]
For the honor of Grayskull! -How about now? -Administrator detected.
Welcome, She-Ra.
We're on the edge of greatness Turning darkness to light We're right beside you Ready to fight We're gonna win in the end We must be strong And we must be brave We gotta find every bit of strength That we have and never let it go We must be strong One more time.
What can you tell me about this? Subject, the Sword of Protection.
Classification, portable runestone keyed exclusively to administrator She-Ra, Princess of Power.
-How can I use this to heal my friend? -Query not recognized.
[groans.]
[sighs.]
Legends say the sword has healing powers.
Is that true? One of the Sword of Protection's functions is to heal and restore balance.
-How do I do that? -Query not recognized.
How can I use the sword to heal people? One of the Sword of Protection's functions is to heal and restore balance.
-Is there someone else I can talk to? -Query not recognized.
[grunts.]
Okay.
-Let me talk to Light Hope.
-Light Hope.
That's her name.
The woman I saw when I touched the sword.
Where is she? Yes, Light Hope is here.
She has been waiting for you.
Can I talk to her? You will meet her soon enough.
First, you must let go.
-What's that supposed to mean? -You are not ready yet.
You must let go.
Let go of what? [both shouting.]
-Hey! Watch it.
-Catra? What are you doing here? Unauthorized presence detected.
Security protocol activated.
Not again.
What just happened? This isn't good.
You're not supposed to be here.
[screeching.]
[both gasp.]
-What are those? -Also not good.
[grunting.]
Come on! We need to run.
[screeching and roaring.]
Why are they trying to kill us? They're trying to kill you.
They see you as an invader.
Tell them to stop.
I can't.
Nothing in here is listening to me! -Adora? -Stand back.
[grunting and shouting.]
What are you doing? [both coughing.]
You shouldn't be here.
They won't stop until they get you.
-If I'm protecting you, I'm a threat, too.
-Uh, I didn't ask you to protect me.
Okay.
Why are you here? How did you find this place? It sent up a beam of light.
It wasn't hard.
-Does Shadow Weaver know you're here? -Shadow Weaver's got bigger problems.
Why are you looking at me like that? Wait.
No.
I know what this is about.
Ugh, I knew you'd be weird about me letting you escape.
-It's not because I like you.
-I didn't say anything.
Why are you here? Where are your friends? You do everything together.
Oh, the ones you kidnapped and held for ransom? The ones Shadow Weaver cursed? Obviously.
What other friends? Come on.
Those things will be back.
We need to go.
We don't need to go together.
Do your weird thing, I'll find my own way.
[sighs.]
[Catra groans.]
-Another dead end.
-No, it's not.
Eternia.
Eh, long story.
You found the Infinite Darkness Room.
I'm gonna find another way around.
Uh Where did the door go? Wait, I think I see something.
Hello? Light Hope? What's--? [shouts.]
Huh? -What game are you playing? -Whoa.
I have no idea what's going on.
No way we're in the Fright Zone.
-Is this another Shadow Weaver mind trick? -I doubt it.
Let go.
Hey, you! Guard! Uh, hello? [laughing.]
Hey, Adora! This isn't real! -Adora? Adora? -Catra? Adora! -Hey, Adora, there's a-- -Shh.
-[grunts.]
Does it look broken? -It's not.
You're fine.
-[shrieks.]
I'm bleeding! -You're not! Why would you pick a fight with Octavia? I didn't.
All I did was exist near her.
And scratch her on the eye.
And call her a dumb-face.
-Catra-- -What? She has a dumb face.
Where is she? -Hey, Octavia! You're a dumb face! -Huh? [roaring.]
-She's coming! [laughing.]
-[young Adora.]
Run! [both laughing.]
What was that? It must have been some simulation tapping into our memories.
Why, I have no idea.
Ugh.
This place is so weird.
How can you deal with all this? I need to figure out how to heal Glimmer after someone got her cursed.
You want an apology? You're not getting one.
-Can I ask you something? -[groans.]
Can I stop you? [both gasp.]
-Why did you help me escape? -Not this again.
I can't figure it out.
You didn't have to.
You could've gotten caught.
Why risk it? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did you think I'd let Shadow Weaver erase your memory? -I don't know.
Probably.
-You never did have much faith in me.
-[sighs.]
Can you blame me? -[chuckles.]
Not really.
Was it all bad growing up in the Fright Zone? -You still have good memories, right? -Of course.
But the Horde is evil.
I had no choice.
I couldn't go back.
Hey, I miss you, too.
Wha--? [scoffs.]
I don't miss you.
Get over yourself.
-Not until you admit you like me.
Ha, ha.
-I don't like you.
[shouting.]
Oh, come on.
[shouting and grunting.]
[laughing.]
[shouting and grunting.]
-[thud.]
-Ow.
You okay? [shouting and grunting.]
[alarm buzzes.]
[alarm buzzes.]
[man.]
And there's our winner.
[grumbles.]
Good work, cadet.
I like your focus.
This win will be reported to Lord Hordak.
-Way to gang up on me.
-You were fighting dirty.
-I was just leveling the field.
-You were awesome.
-Did I hurt you? -No.
You're lucky I let you win.
-Right.
-I'm serious.
If I came in first, people might expect me to do stuff.
-Second place suits me just fine.
-Yeah, okay.
-Let's cool down.
-I'll meet you there.
Hey, guys, wait up! [all laughing.]
Yeah.
[sobbing.]
[shrieks.]
[computer.]
Unauthorized presence detected.
Security protocol activated.
[Catra screaming nearby.]
Catra? Catra! [both grunting.]
Catra! [muffled.]
Adora! [screaming.]
[grunting.]
[chuckles.]
[shouts.]
Are you okay? -I had it.
-Sure you did.
-We need to make sure we stay together.
-Stop telling me what to do.
I'm sick of this place.
Let's just get out.
-What is your problem? I was saving you.
-I don't need you to save me.
I've been doing fine on my own.
No thanks to you.
Catra, wait.
I'm sorry for leaving.
I couldn't go back after I saw what the Horde was doing.
I never wanted to leave you.
You could come, join the rebellion.
You're not a bad person.
You don't belong with the Horde.
[door opens.]
Let's just get this over with.
[grunting.]
Catra, wait up! What's it like being the world's slowest person? [crashing.]
[both laughing.]
Whoa.
-[Catra gasps.]
It's open.
-We're definitely not allowed in there.
[both laughing.]
You don't have to go in.
[young Catra.]
Whoa.
Wow.
[shrieks.]
-Maybe we should get out.
-[Shadow Weaver groaning.]
[gasps.]
[gasps.]
-[Catra gasps.]
-[Shadow Weaver.]
Get out! Catra, you stay.
What do you think you're doing in here? -Just playing.
-[Shadow Weaver.]
Insolent child.
I've come to expect such disgraceful behavior from you.
But I will not allow you to drag Adora down as well.
Shadow Weaver, it was my idea.
[Shadow Weaver.]
You have never been more than a nuisance.
I've kept you around because Adora was fond of you.
But if you do anything to jeopardize her future, I will dispose of you myself.
Do you understand? Please, stop.
[Shadow Weaver groans.]
-She didn't mean to.
-Adora.
You must do a better job of keeping her under control.
Do not let something like this happen again.
-[grunts.]
You always play the hero.
-I was trying to protect you.
You never did.
Not if it would put you on Shadow Weaver's bad side.
Admit it.
You love being her favorite.
That's not true.
When you left, who took the fall for you? Who was protecting me then? Don't let Shadow Weaver treat you like that.
You can leave, like I did.
-Because I need to follow you everywhere? -I didn't mean it that way.
I don't want to leave.
Don't you understand? I'm not afraid of Shadow Weaver, and I'm a better Force Captain than you.
-You said you didn't care about that.
-I was lying obviously! Catra, just wait! Why do you think I gave the sword back? I didn't want you to come back, Adora.
[screeching.]
For the honor of--! [grunts.]
Huh? -You were fighting dirty.
-[Shadow Weaver.]
Insolent child.
-[Adora.]
I'm sorry.
-Let me out of here! [groaning.]
[young Catra crying.]
Catra? -[hisses.]
-Catra, it's okay.
It's just me.
It doesn't matter what they do to us.
You look out for me, I look out for you.
Nothing bad can happen if have each other.
-You promise? -You promise? I promise.
Let's go back out.
[grunting and shouting.]
Stop it.
I'm not your enemy.
Just let me talk to Light Hope! [metal crashing nearby.]
[Catra grunting.]
Catra? Hey, Adora.
Catra, help me.
Please.
This thing wouldn't work for me.
It only works for you.
You're special.
That's what Shadow Weaver always said.
Catra, what are you doing? Ah, it all makes sense now.
You've always been holding me back.
You wanted me to think I needed you.
You wanted me to feel weak.
Every hero needs a sidekick, right? That's not how it was.
[Catra laughs.]
The sad thing is, I've spent all this time hoping you'd come back to the Horde, when you leaving was the best thing that happened to me.
I am so much stronger than anyone ever thought.
I wonder what I could've been if I'd gotten rid of you sooner.
[shrieks.]
I am sorry.
I never meant to make you feel second best.
Please don't do this.
[sword clanging.]
Bye, Adora.
I really am going to miss you.
Catra.
Catra, no! Adora.
You must let go.
[sobbing.]
Ah.
Then Catra and I were on a boat together.
Did I tell you that? Pretty sure you did.
[rewinding.]
[Scorpia on recording.]
One time, Catra and I were on a boat together.
-That was the best day.
-You did.
I think that's when we made our connection.
You ever meet someone and you just click? [Entrapta.]
Yes, like with Emily.
What happened? You're filthy.
Are you okay? Do you need first aid? -Do you need to be nursed back to health? -Scorpia, remember.
Personal space.
Oh, right.
Ten-foot radius.
-How'd it go? Did you find it? -Uh, why is the princess loose? Oh, right.
[grunts.]
Seriously, did you find it? An intact data crystal.
I have never seen one so perfectly preserved.
This could be a game-changer.
Who knows what it contains? [laughs.]
I knew Catra could do it.
I told you.
She is the best friend ever.
[Catra.]
Keep it down.
I'm going to bed.
Hello? [echoing.]
I carry the sword of She-Ra.
I've come here for help.
Is anyone there? -Greetings.
